An Impossible Love 16

F-RATED

Triskel Arts Centre is proud to announce its association with The F-Rating initiative. Developed in the Bath Film Festival in 2014, the F-Rating is a new film rating which will highlight those with a strong female voice.

To earn an F-rating, a movie has to answer yes to one of these three questions: does it have a female director, does it have a female writer, or are there significant female characters on screen in their own right? Triskel Arts Centre has voluntarily incorporated this rating.

A chronicle of the unconditional love between a mother and her daughter, An Impossible Love spans from 1958 to the present day. This mother-daughter bond, endangered by an unsteady and manipulative father, features both the intensity of a love story, and the poignancy of a coming-of-age narrative. Based on the 2015 novel by French writer Christine Angot, this period drama begins in the sleepy French town of Chateauroux. Absent for most of daughter Chantal’s childhood, egocentric Philippe suddenly returns, triggering a re-evaluation of a connection once considered unshakeable.
